002-The Moon and Planets from Clem.JPG020 - The Moon and a few planets75 visiteThe Startracker imaged this spectacular shot of the sunrise, planets, and Moon. This color-enhanced image shows, from right to left, the Moon lit by the Earth, the terminator - or boundary between light and dark - into the dark side with the solar corona just rising over the limb, and the bright planets Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. Several dimmer stars can also be seen. The Startracker algorithm achieved a star match, realizing that the Sun and planets were not in the correct position to be stars, and ignored them.

018-The Moon from Clem-WestLimb-PIA00305.jpg004 - The western limb of the Moon: Mare Orientale and Oceanus Procellarum67 visiteThe so-called Mare Orientale (ringed feature just below image center) is just visible from Earth on the extreme western edge of the Near-Side of the Moon.
Oceanus Procellarum (large dark albedo area in upper right of image) is a familiar Near-Side feature as seen from Earth.

009-The Moon from Clem-Corona.JPG022 - Solar Corona79 visiteThe Earth-lit Moon, The Sun's corona, and - to the far right - Venus, are visible in this color-enhanced Startracker image. The Mare Humorum is the dark circular mare at the center of the lunar disk.

019-The Moon from Clem-EastLimb-PIA00303.jpg005 - The eastern limb of the Moon: Mare Smythii, Mare Marginis, Mare Crisium and Mare Fecunditatis66 visiteThe dark albedo features Mare Smythii (image center) and Mare Marginis (above Smythii) are just visible from Earth on the extreme eastern edge of the Lunar Near-Side. Mare Crisium (West of Marginis) and Mare Fecunditatis (SouthWest of Crisium) are familiar Near-Side features as seen from Earth.
Maria Regions are believed to be large basins formed by impacts from cosmic projectiles later filled by basaltic lava flows from volcanic eruptions. Basaltic lava flows on the basin floors give maria their dark albedo appearance.
